Go-Go bars in Phuket are a big part of the nightlife scene on the island, with visitors of various ages seeking out the bright neon lights of Bangla Road for a fun and lively night out with friends.

The typical layout of a Phuket go-go bar has seating around the edge of the room, where the patrons are joined by some of the staff for a drink (lady drinks usually cost around 220 baht, whereas regular drinks cost around 150 baht) and friendly companionship. These girls each take their turn on the central stage. There are good and bad go-go bars in Phuket, and clueless punters can go from well-design bars with friendly staff to dark and dingy hovels.

This lively bar at the very end of Soi Seadragon has a friendly, social atmosphere – kind of like a cheerful local pub, but with special dance shows. The décor is oriental-themed, as are the uniforms of the efficient waitresses. Add the cowboy hats worn by the girls dancing to rock and pop music on the five poles up on stage and you have the feel of the Wild East of Hong Kong in the 1920s. Being amongst the most popular and best-known bars on Soi Seadragon – as well as being relatively small – it gets busy quite quickly and stays that way through the night. Read More...

Harem A Go Go is one of the best and most luxurious go-go bars in Patong. Built in what used to be Candy Club and Playschool, it has been completely redesigned to create a tasteful and really comfortable place and is the largest bar of its kind in town. It has two large main stages, with smaller surrounding platforms. Despite the plush red velvet sofas, fancy decoration and general appearance of a high-price venue, the drinks prices are the same as any other bars around and entrance is free. Read More...

Under the same management as Suzy Wong’s (and sometimes even known as “Suzi Wong’s 2”), this bar is a few doors closer to Bangla Road than its sister venue and shares the same fun vibe, but in a very different way. Unique among the go-go bars in Phuket for its exceptional design, both the exterior and interior have a cavern-like look. The traditional chrome poles on the central stage have been creatively replaced with hanging chains. Relative to the size of the venue, however, the main stage and the second one with a mattress on it are quite small and there is a lot of floor and seating space around them. Read More...

Rock Hard A Go-Go

Bangla Road, Patong Beach

First opened in its prominent location at the Rat-U-Thit Road end of Soi Bangla (directly opposite Red Hot live music bar) in the early 1990s, this was the first and finest go-go bar in Phuket. It has undergone several evolutions since then and now consists of two beer bars downstairs (which start serving drinks from 14:00) and a go-go bar upstairs. The emphasis is on entertainment over explicit content, with two quite big stages in the L-shaped edifice (instead of the more usual one).

Exotica A Go-Go

Soi Seadragon, Patong Beach

One of the first go-go bars you come to when you enter the left-hand side of Soi Seadragon, Exotica is quite hard to miss. Its bright white frontage leads to a light, cool, modern interior with a large central stage. Aside from eight chrome poles, this stage also features a Jacuzzi and an oscillating platform. These two additions to the usual formula do make for some very interesting shows. The bar has a club-like vibe, but remains easy-going.
